Parlie Cakes

Parlie cakes have a long tradition in Scotland. They are mentioned in a book about Edinburgh in the 1800s, where Mrs Flockhart's Shop in Potterow  had a back room where select people could met and "parlie" over drink and gingerbread.

Here is a gluten free adaptation.

Melt 100 g butter with 2 tablespoons treacle.
Cool then beat in 1 egg.
Stir this into
160 g self raising gluten free flour mix,
40 g  certified gluten free quinoa flour
1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum (optional but makes it less crumbly)
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger.


Pour the mix into a Swiss roll tin and bake at 150 degrees centigrade.
After 10 minutes, mark it into small squares, then bake for a further 5 minutes.
Tastes better the next day.
